+1000000 to an alarm and immobilizer, everyday there seems to be another heart breaking stolen thread. Get Chris to hook you up with a PROPERLY installed set up, and get comprehensive insurance or at least fire and theft.

lol that's what I meant, brains a bit friend today D: catch you then

Purchased my first skyline about 6 months ago and was very apprehensive as well; Make sure you get the full vehicle report from qld transport - costs about $30 online and show's registration history/km's, accident history and a rev's certificate. Naturally you want to get as much documentation about the car as possible from the owner, and ensure it all matches up with the VIN/import sticker/engine block stamp (make sure you cite this in person). I got a mechanic mate to come along with me - if you don't have one get a full inspection done, definitely worth the money. You should also test drive more than one, unless you have driven skylines in the past, to get an idea of how the car feels compared to other examples. In terms of being thrashed, whether the km's are legit etc - its all hard to corroborate. Give aways are adjustable boost controllers, lower tread on the rear tyres compared to the front, tyre rubber stuck on the inner rear guards, heavy steering wheel/handbrake/arm rest wear. I'm sure others on here could give you a lot of other things to look for. Also recommend you check out this guide for a comprehensive check list. Also, evaluate the individual - I don't like to stereotype but it all adds to painting a clearer picture of the vehicle. How long have they owned the car? genuine reason for sale? what other cars do/have they owned? mature enthusiast or 21y.o flat brimmer? Last piece of advice is to be patient - if it seems too good to be true it most probably is. You have to be prepared to wait for that honest example to come along, it will be worth the wait. Good luck!

hi mate, welcome. You can take the caliper off if you want to be meticulous but wouldn't recommend this unless you are familiar with refitting them and bleeding the brakes etc. You should be fine to give them a good wire brush and clean to get any shit off them, then mask the area around the caliper with newspaper and rags. Make sure you get caliper/heat resistant paint. There is an in-depth tute around if you want to do a search.

Looking good, Rich! Loving that motul rear bar, it really fills out her arse. See you at the charity cruise?

I would also like to get this info, as i'm looking to replace my factory boost gauge. Ideally would like something that can use the existing wiring, any help?

Yeah I think we will give it a go first. Not sure about spring settings etc, have also read the term 'preloading' used, any advice?

meh, just win the race on the black top - shouldn't be a problem hey Nick

I'm keen to give it a crack if you are. I would imagine there would be a guide of sorts on here somewhere.

what rims you looking at? I was thinking about the black te37 style from option one.

cheers guys. I have already bought my BC's - just need someone to put them in! local pedders quoted $300+

Just looking for some recommendations for a reputable suspension shop in QLD. Looking to get a set of coilovers fitted on my 34, what sort of money should I expect to pay?

I dare say HoN will all but die in the ass when DoTA 2 is released. How can I get a key?

Just wondering how many people are typically online these days? Have quit the game since F2P

I would assume theres an app for it. Tablets would be a good compomise between a media pc and notebook, but you would be limited to apps only. What would be your choice of wireless stream? My head deck streams bluetooth from my phone and it struggles with higher bitrate MP3's

I was very keen on exploring this idea, especially considering the capabilities of today's mobile tech such as tablets and eeepc's etc. After looking into the idea somewhat, I just went with a JVC double din that has ALL the functionality listed above (bluetooth, GPS, video, radio, ipod etc) Only thing it lacks is web browsing (which I use my smart phone for) hi-res video support and the inability to read anything other than FAT32 which limits storage capabilities. At the end of the day it looks flush, runs off factory power and has more functionality than I need. It's a glorified mp3 head unit for the most part Unless you are using it in a car holiday car, I don't think the effort (and cost) to set up a CarPC is worth it tbh. However, I definitely see the attraction and 'cool' factor with such a project and would be keen to see some outcomes =)

Thanks Dion and Richie, great work! SAUQld could do with a dedicated photography crew like yourselves ^^

love your work guys

White 32 I take it??? looooooool

cheers mate, would like the hi res of all mine if you can host/email them
